The future of UK Healthcare is mobile
As the Department of Health & Social Care intensifies efforts to create a ‘digital first’ NHS by 2024, there’s only one question you need to ask… will you be ready?
Digital transformation across the NHS
As part of the Department for Health and Social Care’s long term plan, all providers across the NHS are expected to reach a ‘minimum level of digitisation’ by 2024. This includes clinical and operational processes across all NHS settings and departments.
What’s more, the CQC will be scrutinising providers to assess how effectively they’re using digital services; all in a bid to fulfil the Health Secretary’s key objective of ‘bringing the NHS into the 21st century’.
So what does this mean for you?
To comply with CQC standards and fulfil the government’s vision of a paperless health service, all NHS providers will need to go digital… and quickly. But don’t fret, you’re in the right place.
The revolution has already begun
When the National Programme was scrapped in 2010, it was a clear sign that the age of leviathan software solutions was at an end. Yet NHS Improvement estimate that it still takes 17 years to get an idea from pilot to mainstream adoption within the NHS. So it’s no surprise that clinical staff are taking digital transformation into their own hands.
Even before the GDE programme or the NHS Digital Academy even existed, front-line employees were improvising their own digital solutions using whatever tools they could lay their hands on. Around 66% of all patient data held by hospital trusts is generated and stored in ‘feral systems’: free-form electronic documents or scanned letters that are difficult, if not impossible to share.
It’s crucial then, that the NHS finds a more secure and efficient way to build front-line software, that can tap into the myriad EHR platforms available. That’s where Nutshell comes in.
“The Nutshell platform provides our communities with a rapid app development and delivery environment, dramatically reducing the time and effort to prototype and deliver apps.“
Build your own apps
What if you could build your own mobile apps without having to understand code? Sophisticated apps too. Apps for capturing, processing and sharing data, with all the smart security stuff behind the scenes to handle sensitive patient information, without having to implement it yourself.
It sounds too good to be true, and yet that’s exactly what our customers are doing. Nutshell’s drag n’ drop mobile app-building platform is empowering front-line staff across all areas of the NHS to drive their own digital transformation initiatives safely and securely; all without having to learn how to code.
Anyone capable of building a basic spreadsheet can pick up Nutshell in less than a day. Don’t take our word for it, though. Just look at some of our recent case studies to see what Nutshell is capable of.
